Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.
| Eating OK (≥10 min coordinated breastfeed or age-appropriate bottle volume) | Yes — eating OK |
|---|---|
| Sleeping OK (≥1 hour uninterrupted after feeding) | Yes — sleeping OK |
| Consoling OK (settles within 10 min with optimized soothing) | Yes — consoling OK |
